Minnesota is known for having a ton of lakes, and if there's any activity you want to do at a lake it's drinking. Sure, you could swim, go boating, or anything like that, but we all know the true joy of a lake comes from having a drink while staring out at the still water. Am I right or am I just romanticizing ideas based on false narratives given in film and tv? *winky face emoji*
